I had quite a bit of left over yarn from making my Linen Stitch Cowl so it clearly was meant to be a matching set! These fingerless gloves are made in the round starting with the arm and increasing over the hand before splitting for the thumb and finger holes. You can adjust the pattern…
I have had these two yarns in my stash for a while. I wanted to use them together but have spent a while thinking it through because the red and white/cream colour combination can look very Christmassy. Although I love Christmas, I wanted whatever I made to be wearable the rest of the year! I…
Did you spot the hanging heart in the pictures of my zigzag Christmas stocking? Well I received a few requests for the pattern, which was flattering because there are a few similar patterns around. Sorry these aren’t in time for Christmas – but they are in time for Valentine’s Day! (Or you can really use…
As you may remember from my earlier post on bracelet patterns, I’m currently going through my old posts and adding pdf downloads to my patterns (in both US and UK crochet terms). As the weather seems to have turned chilly recently, I thought I’d move on to these scarf patterns instead. And I included the…

I’ve never written one, because I’m fairly certain it wouldn’t fall into the “funny” category, and as I’m no…
Those of you who “like” my page on facebook will know that last week I had the misfortune of fracturing my elbow. (It was a bike/ice/corner combination of events resulting in me now needing to wear a sling for 4-6 weeks.) So I haven’t been able to do much crafting recently! :( Fortunately I had…
If you like the metallic clutch bag I use as my profile picture, these little purses are similar. These were made specifically to fit US dollars, gifts for my friend’s girls who recently emigrated stateside. I love how a simple flower can pretty up these items. These purses are dead easy to make, so perfect…
This is a quick pattern I use often for making decorations for hats and cards. I have also used it to make hanging decorations which I sell in my shop! The pattern works for most wool and hook sizes, just match your hook to the label on the yarn. Start by making a magic ring…
